Sorry to be a bit frank here, but I always get a sore bum on long car journeys and I've got another one coming up. Does anyone have any tips? I've tried sitting on a cushion, but it doesn't really work...

You could always try sitting in a different part of the car, like swapping with someone else for a seat. Sometimes when I stay in the same seat of the car, the bumps always hit my side of the car the worst, and I always swap for the other side of the car when that happens. Otherwise, I'd try finding some sort of cuhsion, but you've mentioned that, so...

Just a quick question; does anyone know what are the best methods for AS Level revision?

If you're a DC comics fan, GTA or Saints Row fan, hit me up with a vm, I'm always looking to talk to new people for my favourite stuff!

I saw your subjects on the Student Lounge thread
Anything maths, do as many past papers as possible, just over and over, mark them yourself, and redo the ones you got wrong.
For English, read up on Sparknotes all the key points and make notes. Maybe make a little quiz to test yourself?

As for your humanities, I won't be able to help you, because I don't know what the exams are like... maybe just try to learn off by heart the facts you need to know, a few at a time? Make little question post-its and put them where you'll see them randomly to see if you can answer them spontaneously.

And I have another question:

In Japanese, how would you say "on the way here?" I'm pretty new to the language, and I didn't know if you could write ここのみちに or ここにみちに or if you'd just say something else entirely. Thanks for any help!

† I am a Christian, and not ashamed to admit it! Copy and paste this if you are too.†

"For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, that none that believe in him, should perish: but should have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

About 5 months ago I was in a relationship while talking to a previous ex. It was chill, they were friends and knew about each other.
But, I was getting nudes and having secret rendezvous with my ex. Then out of the blue she decided to become super Christian like her family and told me that I was manipulating her and we couldn't be friends. She hasn't talked to me and I haven't talked to her since.

Now I'm kinda wanting to start over with her, as friends. Then maybe become something more in the next few years? We're both about to go off to college, both 18 y/o seniors.

I have a minor question for anyone who is particularly well versed in English/Grammar:

What's the difference between Disorganized and Unorganized?

l mean, they are two different words, but does one have a slightly different meaning than the other? Seems kind of redundant if they don't....

I do believe that unorganized implies a state of consistency, and disorganized implies a catalyst. In other words, disorganized means something caused the lack of organization, but that's not necessarily the case for unorganized. Unorganized could have simply always been in that state.

I'm a bit curious why you ask. I honestly can't think of an occasion where you wouldn't be able to use them interchangeably.

I've seen them both used with referring to a person. "You are unorganized." and "You are disorganized." I think it has something to do the prefixes 'un' and "dis". Disorganized is usually used to refer to a person. While unorganized is usually used to describe something that wasn't organized in the first place. A state of "unorganization". Like a box of Legos or something.

But you're just playing with the -ed and -tion suffixes that way. You could just as soon, and without any trouble say: "You are unorganized." And "The room is in a state of disorganization."

Just for the record, disorganized should refer to more of a permanent state (i.e. describing a person), while unorganized is more temporary or prone to change (i.e. a room). But like so many other aspects of English, people have bastardized it so that you can use them interchangeably and no one will bat an eye, so realistically there isn't any distinction.

nah just second cousin, the cousin's children would be second cousin once removed.

You're both wrong.

Your parents' cousins are your first cousins, once removed. Removed refers to generation differences. So, your grandparents' first cousins would be your first cousins, twice removed. First/second/third/etc. has to do with your most recent common ancestor (to keep it simple). You and your first cousins have the same grandparents, you and your second cousins share great-grandparents, etc. Of course, all of this goes out the window if you live in a trailer park.
